Hi readers, its been a while, and I'd like to apologise for last leaving you with a ridiculous blog about a man crush... At least you cant accuse me of being self indulgent (Lets change that!)
I've left University for good now, left Sunderland and I'm back living with my parents, JOY! However, its not like I remember, no set bed time, I don't have to tell them where I'm going yet I still get my pants cleaned for me, so I can literally shit myself and not worry about it, RESULT!
So what have we learned today kids? If you really wanna stay out late, go get a degree...
WOW, I've got a degree and if I say it a few times it kinda sounds cool. I never thought I'd make it this far but behold! Here I am, Tyler William Ellis BA.
A month ago I was standing in the Stadium of Light (Sunderland AFC football ground) waiting to collect my scroll and shake the hand of a couple of old guys who hold a position of importance, although I can honestly say I've never seen these people before in my entire time at uni.
But its not the scroll or the hand shakes or even the cool gown that makes the day special, its the chance to stand in front of your family and friends and do a stupid bow in the middle of the stage and really show them that after 3 years of higher learning and £25,000 worth of debt....you haven't grown up a bit!
I had a great night out after the ceremony, saw a lot of people for possibly the last time and then drove home with the rents, and I'm not ashamed to say, I balled my eyes out when it finally dawned on me that uni was over...
That was then and this is now, working full time, for the Man, at Frankie and Benny's... Living the dream!
Its not too bad actually, I've been able to catch up with loads of friends which I hadn't seen for a long time, been out to some clubs in the surrounding areas which I had never been to before and saving for Australia is going pretty well too.
So what more can I tell you? I'm going away to Zante with the lads in 10 days, which I'm thoroughly excited about but what has really got my brain racing the last couple of days is this...
I just started working with JJ and when I told him I wanted to learn to do backflips this summer, he laughed at me...well not in a nasty way, but basically he said he could teach me in a day, so natually I grabbed at the chance... little did I know he did this!
Parkour, or Freerunning as some know it as turns normal human beings into super-human, spidermen....my dream, I just wish I had more time to do it! I know what you''re thinking, if I really wanted to do it I'd find time, and that is precisely what I'm gonna do!
Watch this space, because the next post will be pics of me doing backflips! Or failing terribly and in which case there'll just be pics of my broken body :/
